How swiftly time has flown since we were fight ing hard to keep that toehold in the Solomons. Except for those who fought through those en casements their very names grow rusty in memory: Tarawa, Kawa lalein. Hollandia. Leyte. Pala wan. The Jungle has reclaimed wiftlv the battlefields of the Solomons and New Guinea: and the flood of postwar events has nearly swept out of, mind wnai loomed so large a few short vears aeo. Yet the recurring crises of the postwar period which rob former events of attention nave arisen because of an intense desire to make fruitful the blood that was shed in Europe, Africa and the Pacific The sacrifice of the war was to insure certain freedoms for the world. The object of the postwar is the same; and the major threat is similar, the threat of the . aggressive, totalitarian state. Though the names that once carried great meaning Truk, Rabaul, Saipan, Okinawa, slide into 'the niches of history, the United States is not forgetful of the war and its cost. The atom hfmbf on Hiroshima and Naga KaTri marked the ' climax of the lnntr hps run that began at Gaudalcanal In 1942. Neither they nor the later surrender of Japan on the deck of the USS Missouri brought an end to the struggle n establish. Deace. justice, free dom, security on this earth. The fight goes on, with tne universal hope - that it will not again be referred for a decision to the devastating weapons of modem warfare.

Panyushkin demanded tonight that the United States government hand over to Russian officials Michael Ivanovitch Samarin, New York teacher who talked Sunday to the FBL At a hastily called news con ference in the embassy, the am bassador disclosed that he had made the request in a formal note handed earlier . to Undersecretary of State Robert A. Lovett.. The note, Panyushkin declared. said that Samarin, his family, and Mrs. Oksana Stepanovna Kosen kina, another New York teacher. had beem-kldnapped" by the To stoy foundation,, an anti-bolshe vik Russian group. . -. j The note called the foundation a "criminal organization! existing in "direct violation" of American- Russian obligations assumed when this country gave diplomatic rec ognition to the Soviet Union in 1933. Mrs. Kaskenkina was taken from a Tolstoy foundation retreat out side. New York City on Saturday by officials of the Soviet consulate in New York. She still is in the consulate, "resting" according to Soviet officials. The Tolstoy foundation version is that she was taken there against her will, fearful for her life. Samarin is a Russian-born mathematics teacher who turned up at the New York FBI office and asked to tell his story. At the same time, Panyushkin called Rep. Mundt (R-SD), member of the house un-American activities committee a "political youth" who is "sick of some night mares' Mundt, as acting chairman of the committee, had planned to call both Samarin and Mrs. Kosen - kina before the committee. A state department official said Panyushkin was told "we could not accept his assumptions in case of this kind where there was great deal of conflicting state ments, and that proper American authorities are looking into the matter to establish the facts." Bond Interest Rate Boosted To Hold Line WASHINGTON, Aug. 9 -UPV- The government, already prepar-J ing to clamp a 15-month limit on easy-payment credit, today boosted the interest - rate on short-term government bonds "as a further anti-inflationary measure." Secretary of the Treasury Sny der announced the interest boost, long-rumored in banking circles, Treasury certificates which have carried IV per cent will, in the next offering, be posted at 1 per cent and other securities rates will raise accordingly. The hoped-for result is a damper on credit expansion. This Is be cause private i interest rates us ually follow the government pat tern; if so. It will cost more to borrow money and to float bond Issues. In theory, at least, there will be less spending of borrowed money and hence the upward pressure on rprices win diminish.

Teacher; Man Quiet Koral Refuses to : Answer Questions About Spy Ring - WASHINGTON, Aug 9 VPh A' mystery witness billed as the man who could "break" the whole Red spy ring case refused to talk to day, but a congressman declared the man had once confessed part in Soviet espionage. An investigator for the house un American activities committee testified the witness had served as a courier for an alleged Soviet sV Alexander Kara! agent and had dealt with U. S. government officials in Washing ton. The witness, 5 1 -year-old, Lon don-born Alexander Koral, stuck to bis policy of silence on ' the ground that to answer queries flung at him by the committee might Incriminate him, a right granted by the constitution. He refused time after time to answer questions on whether he was or ever had been a commun ist, whether he knew Elizabeth T. Bentley who first told In the open the story of a network of Red pipelines running into the govern ment's most secret places, or had dealings with persons named as links in the Red chain. Koral gave a Brooklyn, N. Y address 290 Empire Boulevard. He said that except for a 21-month layoff he had been employed by the New York board of education since 1922. But that was about all he would say. " He would not tell whether he knew an individual called "Frank." Miss Bentley, who describes her self as a former communist and former courier for a spy network. has named "Frank" as one of her Soviet contacts.
